The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a close loss on Sunday night to the Detroit Pistons in a game in which they got very little production from their front court. That includes rookie Brandon Ingram who scored only five points on 1-7 shooting.

Ingram did add four rebounds, three assists, and a block but overall it was not a great night for the rookie. Despite his struggles however, Ingram found himself out on the court down the stretch of this game that was decided in the final minute.

Head coach Luke Walton has been very open about his belief in Ingram and how he helps the team in multiple ways.
